THE INSANE ASYLUM.

Gov. Church Makes His Appointments The
New Board at Work.
The new board, appointed by Gov.
Church, for the asylum at Yankton, has
been sworn in. 1t consists of Col. F. A.
Gale, of Canton; w. T. Quigley, Of Par
ker; Robe Cox and M. T. Woolsy, of Yank-
ton. The rumored appointment of Gross
as the fifth member, was not made, and il
is thought that Otto Peemiller, of Yank-
ton, will be appointed in his place. After
organizing with F. A. Gale as chairman
and Mr.. Quigley secretary, t board as
sumed formal possession of the institution.
The board then signed vouchers for bills
aggregating some $4,000. Many of these
dorsed by the old board which we're re-
turned by Auditor Ward rejected.
1t is the intention Of the board
to Immediately advertise for bids for the
construction of the additional wings, and
the $92O 900 are to be expended Tor the
necessary work. The new ourd has the
admins ration with them, and will have
the inside row. The cash-box of the tor
ritory is behind them and no contest
against them can last long. The old board
will doubtless refuse to give possession Of
the books. and they say they will imme-
diately have the mat or thrown into court.
The new board is unquestionably very
popular. Col. Gale is a banker at Canton.
and democrat of territorial prominence
His apo ntment was an emporium one for
Gov. Church, and the manner in which he
has handled this matter reflects credit upon
himself and the administration. Mr.. Quig-
ley is Parker attorney, q shrewd worker
and very pop lar. The two Yankton gem
tlemen ars well-known business men.

NEW YORK. July GA car-cleaner named Albert
Jones, on Friday night, found behind the heater
In postal car No 679, at the Grand Central depot,
six official envelopes They had been opened but
1or New YORK banks Jones reported the matter,
and An Investigation was instituted, all those
knowing OF the matter being Instructed to keep
quiet about 1t. The checks found aggregated
$4,000, and none had been stolen. There has been
no money In the envelopes.
Car 619 Is upon the No. run, arriving In New
YORK at O'Clock. 1t was in charge of S. c. Howe
on Friday, with crew OF six men. After the mail
had been removed Jones went into the car, and,
after sweeping, locked the doors. He returned In
half an hour and found the door open. While con-
tinulng his work he found the rifed letters He
says they were not there when he went out the
first time Chief Clerk Howe's theory
is that the bunch OF letters through some
mistake fell upon the counter and were
overlooked when the other letters were pouched;
that some thief got into the car discovered the
ters opened them, found that they contained
nothing but checks, and threw them behind the
heater The pouch in which the letters came from
Albany contained a number OF money packages
which were not disturbed. Mr. Howe does not
think any OF his crew opened the letters.
Car Cleaner Jones has been talking about his
find, in spite OF 1njunctions to the contrary, and
told some friends that he had found the package
containing 1000, for which he expected big
reward.

was organized to improve the Peralta grant, lying
between Phoenix and Tucson, In Arizona, consist

owned by Don Peralta, an old Spanish settler who
obtained patent from the Mexican government.
Under the stpulations OF the treaty OF Guadalupe

respect the old spanish titles Peralta died. leav-
ing, il is claimed, an only son, surviving heir to

No claimant appeared to the estate until three
years ago, when Reav1s appeared with dark
years Of age, whom he had married, and whom he
claimed to be the granddaughter OF Don Peralta
and heir to the now very valuable Peralta grant.
To strengthen his claim he made a trip TO Spain
and about six months ago returned, bringing with
him an elaborate parchment from the authorities
recoSniasd as the daughter Of Don Peralta pere
feet title to the Peralta grant, and she further
honorea by having the title OF Baroness OF the

mother died at San Diego at the girls BIRTH and
that the latter accompanied Peralta to woodland,

The grant is q very valuable property, and 1t is
natural there should be disputes over it. But we
have quite a number OF people interested in it
and have put In good deal OF money and pro-
pose to hold IL, for We satisfied the title Is
good. II any questions are to be raised they
might as well be settled now as any time in the
